About

Cruiseium: A Gay Guide to History is a fast, funny, Neo-Futurist–style solo performance that explores LGBTQ+ history through humor, personal storytelling, and interactive theatricality. Blending archival research with camp, drag-adjacent performance, and emotional immediacy, the show follows one fabulously curious gay on a time-traveling journey through queer history—from Hadrian’s devoted “friendship” to the Uffizi’s suspiciously homoerotic saints. Part lecture, part cabaret, and part glitter-soaked romp, Cruiseium uncovers the stories history tried to erase and asks what the queer past can teach us about the present.
